Easier to just close after looking at the code.

Suggested change to the support forums plugin.

Amend the function setTopicStatus
(I tried to use the filter: topic_resolution, but for some reason was 
unable to.)

So I added this line:

if ( bb_current_user_can( 'close_topic', $topic_id ) && 'yes' == 
$resolution) {
	bb_close_topic( $topic_id );
}

just before:
$bb_cache->flush_one('topic', $topic_id);

which seems to work.
